if you get 1.25 inch bars, they are 1 inch in diameter where the controls, grips, and clamps attach.
if you're worried about it, take your bars off and measure them.
but they'll be 1.25 at the risers, which would screw him up pretty bad.
Quotebut they'll be 1.25 at the risers, which would screw him up pretty bad. No. They should be 1 inch at the risers as well. My beach bars are 1.25 and they go down to 1 inch at the risers and the grips/controls (I still use the stock risers on them). Call HDL or what ever place you are going to buy them from to make sure but that is my experience.
TC--what are you looking for in bars, anyway?
